  • Economic and Social Development of Angola Due to Petroleum Exploration
    XVII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Technological Innovation and Intellectual Property: Production Engineering Challenges in Brazil Consolidation in the World Economic Scenario. Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 04 to 07 October – 2011 ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF ANGOLA DUE TO PETROLEUM EXPLORATION DANIELLE FERNANDES DO CARMO (UFRJ) [email protected] The evaluation regarding the influence of petroleum production and exploration in a country is essential for a better usage of all the returns this commodity may generate. This article aims to explicit the current social and economic condittions of Angola in order to demonstrate if the country has improved its quality of life due to petroleum and gas exploration in the territory. The innumerable variables to be analyzed in this approach are: social and economic indices; and historic of the country’s development, which are divided into Human Development Index (HDI), Human Poverty Index (HPI), Child Mortality Rate, among others. Concerning the economic development of Angola, current economic indices will be applied, such as the Gross Domestic Product, daily production of oil and natural gas, oil and gas reserves which have been proved, among several others. This juxtaposition of social and economic indices will enable the evaluation of influences which Angola presents due to its insertion in the petroleum and gas production. It was concluded that petroleum and gas do not generate an even income distribution, however, they upgrade the country ratings in some social indicators (HDI, for example). Palavras-chaves: Petroleum and gas; Angola; quality of life; economic development.

  • Angola Cabinda
    Armed Conflicts Report - Angola Cabinda Armed Conflicts Report Angola-Cabinda (1994 - first combat deaths) Update: January 2007 Summary Type of Conflict Parties to the Conflict Status of the Fighting Number of Deaths Political Developments Background Arms Sources Economic Factors Summary: 2006 The Angolan government signed the Memorandum of Understanding in July 2006, a peace agreement with one faction of the rebel group FLEC (Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave). Because of this, and few reported conflict related deaths over the past two years (less than 25 per year), this armed conflict is now deemed to have ended. 2005 Government troops and rebels clashed on several occasions and the Angolan army continued to be accused of human rights abuses in the region. Over 50,000 refugees returned to Cabinda this year. 2004 There were few reported violent incidences this year. Following early reports of human rights abuses by both sides of the conflict, a visit by a UN representative to the region noted significant progress. Later, a human rights group monitoring the situation in Cabinda accused government security forces of human rights abuses. 50,000 refugees repatriated during the year, short of the UNHCR’s goal of 90,000. 2003 Rebel bands remained active even as the government reached a “clean up” phase of the military campaign in the Cabinda enclave that began in 2002. Both sides were accused of human rights violations and at least 50 civilians died. Type of Conflict: State formation Parties to the Conflict: 1) Government, led by President Jose Eduardo dos Santos: Ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA); 2) Rebels: The two main rebel groups, the Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave (FLEC) and the Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave Cabinda Armed Forces (FLEC FAC), announced their merger on 8 September 2004.

  • SWOT Data Contributors
    SWOT Data Contributors Guidelines of Data Use and Citation The olive and Kemp’s ridley nesting data below correspond directly to this report’s feature maps (pages 32–34), and are organized alphabetically by country, then by data record number as listed on the map. every data record with a point on the map is numbered to correspond with that point. The data come from a wide variety of sources and in many cases have not been previously published. To use data for research or publication, you must obtain permission from the data provider and must cite the original source indicated in the “data source” field of each record. in the records that follow, nesting data are reported from the most recent available year or nesting season or are reported as an annual average number of clutches based on the reported years of study. raw count data are reported as number of clutches, but are displayed on the maps in generalized bins (e.g., 1–10 clutches, 11–100 clutches, and so on) to facilitate interpretation. For more information on data conversions, see the box on page 31. Beaches for which count data were not available are listed as “unquantified.” Additional metadata are available for many of these data records, including information on beach length, monitoring effort, and other comments, and may be found online at www.seaturtlestatus.org. Following nesting data records, we have also included citations for satellite telemetry, genetic stocks, and information used to create the global distributions. Special Acknowledgments s pecial thanks go to Brendan Hurley for extraction, synthesis, and formatting of published data displayed in the maps.
